Guide to Countering Riven as Aurelion Sol

Tips for Playing as Aurelion Sol against Riven

You can use Comet of Legend's flight to grow Starsurge to massive proportions.

Comet of Legend allows you to move quickly around the map; use it to put pressure on other lanes.

Save Voice of Light to use as a defense against melee opponents if you need to - otherwise, use its slow to start a fight at long range.

Advice to Win Against Riven

All of Riven's damage is physical, prioritize high Armor if an opposing Riven gets out of control.

Riven has a great deal of mobility but she cannot move very far with any one skill. Rooting or silencing her during her combo will greatly reduce her effectiveness.

Riven excels at dueling multiple melee attackers at once, as she will be on an almost equal footing damage-wise. If pairing up against Riven, don't go in as double melee until she has expended her full combo.
